Story behind the song
while on holiday with my youngest daughter, her husband and children they constantly played heavy rock music as they drove around. I found it rather hard to take but after we got back home I tried my hand at writing such a piece myself using cakewalk overture's software with electric, overdriven and distortion guitars; FX, sci-fi, soundtrack, voice, bass and percussion leads. I wrote some words and originally called it Grandfather's Rap but I laid the words aside so as not to get into any arguments with my daughter and son-in-law. However, I still remember the words and so I'll include them in the lyric section.
Lyrics
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
Sittin’ in the car and the radio is thumpin’.
Journey sure is far and the kids are really jumpin’.
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
All their noise and jivin’ sure is testin’ my endurance.
Coulda done some drivin’ if they’d put me on insurance.
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
Up and down the same old roads lookin’ for some action.
Kids with all their prods and goads would drive you to distraction.
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
Mum gets cross and Dad gets pissed - they can’t do nuthin’ with’m
What really drives me round the twist: the constant thumpin rhythm
Thump a thump, thump, BOOM!
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
Quietened for a minute there but started up again
Till it’s almost got to where it’s bordering on pain.
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
Music thumps and kiddies whine, I just moan and frown.
Sure is time to draw the line and turn the damn thing down.
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
Stop it please! I’ve had enough and then I hear him say
This “music” is the only stuff that’s being done today.
Thump a boom, bang, rock; Thump a boom, bang, rock. (repeat)
Takes a lot of time to write “real music” with a tune.
Got this done and outa sight inside an afternoon.
Thump a thump, thump, BOOM!
